Physics 107
Introduction to Classical Physics
Physics 107 is a calculus-based introduction to Newtonian mechanics and electricity and magnetism.. Topics include kinematics and dynamics of motion, applications of Newton’s laws, energy, momentum, rotational motion, electric and magnetic fields and forces, and simple electric circuits. Laboratory experiments are performed in groups of two or three, and use video analysis and computer-based data acquisition and analysis to illustrate physics principles. Prerequisites or Corequisites: Mathematics 105. Enrollment is limited to 72 per section. Normally offered every Fall Semester.
